HBO host Bill Maher took aim at the left's ridiculous obsession with sexual orientation and "pride flags" with a little absurdity of his own on a recent episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher."
Maher shared a video clip from his show on Twitter with the caption "Gay pride month is coming up, and we feel at @RealTimers that 96 different Pride flags are just not enough."

In the clip, Maher shared a graphic of "96 pride flags" to represent supposed "sexual orientations," such as Sapiosexual, Rubber Pride, Lithromantic, and Queerplatonic.
"But we feel, at Real Time here, that this is not enough. I'm sorry, it's very exclusionary," Maher joked. "There are some other groups that should be represented. Would you like to see their flags?" he asked, receiving enthusiastic applause.
Maher went on to share his own ridiculous pride flags, including Quasi-homo-modo-sexual, Canisexual, Retrosexual, Literosexual, Doofusexual, and more.
Critics on Twitter gave Maher mixed reviews:
Great bit. It would be funnier if it weren\u2019t true\u2026— Mr. Magotes (@Mr. Magotes) 1652825996

It allows them to claim marginalized status and all of the victimhood that comes with it, which is a powerful currency today.— Barsham (@Barsham) 1652912737
They have conflated preferences, kinks, personality, fetishes, hobbies, and fashion with gender and sexuality.\nIt's hyper-arrested-development.\nIt's silly childish stuff invented by adults with the brains and social development of preschoolers.\nPretend play meets social justice.— Dave Johns (@Dave Johns) 1652897603
That's exactly what it is. These people are trying to construct an identity out of labels in lieu of having an actual personality.— Concerned Bystander (@Concerned Bystander) 1652910822
Allright allright. Ive been annoyed AF at Bill lately. All his focus on the \u201cwoke\u201d. But that was funny. I did laught out loud. And before anyone calls me a homophobe-Im very gay. Gold Star + level. (The plus part is because I was a c-section birth)— William Eagar (@William Eagar) 1652828315
